Gabenor boleh dilucutkan jawatan jika Khalifah memutuskan demikian, atau jika majlis Shura menyatakan ketidakpuasan hati terhadapnya - sama ada berasas atau tidak - atau jika majlis wilayah menyatakan ketidakpuasan hati terhadapnya. Namun, gabenor hanya boleh dipecat oleh Khalifah.

The governor can be discharged if the Khalifah decides so or if the Shura council expresses dissatisfaction with him - whether justified or not - or if the provincial council expressed discontent with him. However, the governor can only be dismissed by the Khalifah.

Dalilnya ialah perbuatan Rasulullah ﷺ; baginda melantik Mu’adh bin Jabal ke atas Yaman kemudian memecatnya daripada jawatan itu tanpa sebarang sebab, dan baginda memecat Al-’Ala’ b. Al-Hadrami yang merupakan ’Amil baginda ke atas Bahrain kerana delegasi ’Abd Qays mengadu tentangnya. ’Umar bin Al-Khattab (ra) biasa memecat gabenor sama ada dengan sebab atau tanpa sebab; beliau memecat Ziyad b. Abi Sufyan dan tidak mengumumkan sebarang sebab, dan beliau memecat Sa’d b. Abi Waqqas (ra) kerana rakyat mengadu tentangnya, lalu berkata: “Aku tidak memecatnya kerana ketidakupayaan, mahupun kerana pengkhianatan.” Ini menunjukkan bahawa Khalifah boleh memecat gabenor bila-bila masa yang dikehendakinya, dan wajib ke atasnya untuk memecat gabenor apabila majlis wilayah mengadu tentangnya. Serupa dengan rakyat wilayahnya ialah majlis Shura (Shura dan akauntabiliti), yang mewakili semua wilayah.

Its proof is the action of the Messenger (pbuh) ; he appointed Mu’adh Bin Jabal over Yemen and then removed him from it without a reason, and removed Al-’Ala’ b. Al-Hadrami who was his ’Amil over Bahrain because the delegation of ’Abd Qays complained about him. Umar Bin Al-Khattab (ra) used to remove governors with and without reason; he removed Ziyad b. Abi Sufyan and did not announce a reason and removed Sa’d b. Abi Waqqas (ra) since the people complained about him, and said “I did not remove him due to incapability, nor treachery”. This indicates that the Khalifah can remove the governors whenever he pleases, and it is upon him to remove the governor if the provincial council complain about him, and similar to the people of his province is the Shura council (Shura and accounting), which represents all of the provinces.
